Kim Seung-won, Candidate, Appeals with Tears Amidst Allegations

Anchor Choi Dae-hyun explained that this book objectively evaluated the merits and demerits of political leaders.

He analyzed that the Chun Doo-hwan administration led economic growth through government-led corporate competition enhancement and efficiency maximization policies, and that a 'hard-carry' strategy combining economic bureaucrats and market efficiency realization was effective at the time.

Immediately after President Chun Doo-hwan took office, GDP growth rate was -1.6% due to the aftermath of the oil shock, but during his tenure, it rose to 7.2%, 13.4%, 7.8%, and 12.0%, reaching 12.0% at his retirement. Per capita GDP increased by about two and a half times from $1,714 to $4,754.

During this period, the current account balance turned to a surplus of $12.7 billion, showing rapid growth in overall economic indicators.

He mentioned that his wife and children sacrificed their futures and dedicated their entire lives to caring for a child with disabilities.

In response, the People Power Party criticized Kim's attitude as a 'show of tears.' Opposition lawmakers pointed out that the candidate was trying to obscure the essence by appealing to emotions rather than refuting the allegations against him.

Currently, it is known that 61% of the public opposes the appointment of Kim Seung-won as Minister of Justice.

Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Dong-ah called lawmaker Joo Jin-woo 'devil'.

Additionally, Democratic Party lawmaker Park Joon-taek told People Power Party lawmaker Kim Tae-gyu to 'remove your hideous face,' leading to criticism that the level of remarks directed at ruling party lawmakers was excessive.

Criticism arose that the current hearing proceeded without any witnesses or references, making substantial verification difficult. The host claimed that the Democratic Party intended to make the hearing chaotic to obscure the essence of the allegations.

Although the ruling party is countering with the logic that the nominee himself is a witness, it is pointed out that a hearing without witnesses compromises the effectiveness of verification.

It was pointed out that hearings without witnesses are becoming customary, as 23 more hearings are scheduled to proceed without witnesses after 18. The practice of insufficient document submission at hearings was also criticized.

Concerns are growing over the current situation where the candidate's statements are considered absolute truth, leading to criticism that no substantial verification is taking place.

Representative Lee Jae-myung appears to be pursuing a strategy to evade legal responsibility related to the Daejang-dong breach of trust charges by amending the Criminal Procedure Act, including cancellation of prosecution and abolition of supplementary investigative powers. The host analyzed that a person like candidate Kim Seung-won is needed in such a situation.

It was also mentioned that there is a political intention to confront the situation head-on, such as attempting to disband the People Power Party.

Reporter Joo Jin-woo raised questions about the appropriateness of this budget usage.

Allegations also arose that family members working as management annually increased their salaries by 30%. Furthermore, controversy surrounded the unclear records of the candidate's son's student care performance and attendance.

These allegations highlight transparency issues related to the candidate's family's facility operations.

The host criticized the candidate's acting skills and pointed out the lack of substantive explanations for the allegations.

Criticism was raised that relying on emotions instead of answers undermines the purpose of the hearing, and there is a growing demand for witness adoption to resolve the allegations.

In particular, there was cynical evaluation of the candidate's consistent emotional appeals without providing clear explanations for the various allegations raised.

This content is based on a recording revealed by lawmaker Joo Jin-heung.

The approval of a voucher for a facility with fire safety deficiencies can be interpreted as a sign of preferential treatment. It is controversial that the facility gained time to compensate for its shortcomings through an extension of the review period.

The host pointed out that this incident suggests the possibility of inappropriate intervention by Rep. Kim Seung-won's spouse.

Candidate Kim Seung-won completely denied that he and his spouse knew about or were involved in the Suwon City Hall review. However, a recording of his spouse, in which she confessed to preferential treatment, was revealed, leading to a truth dispute.

The host pointed out Kim's reversal of statements and emphasized the need to clarify the facts with relevant public officials.

Candidate Kim Seung-won refused to answer questions about allegations of new drug approval lobbying involving Mr. Yang, citing the crime of disclosing facts of an investigation. In particular, he seemed to evade questions about his expertise by stating that he was from a liberal arts background and could not know the performance of new drugs.

However, the host pointed out that Kim had previously mentioned hundreds of billions of won in profits from the drug after seeing a development status document, claiming his hearing answers were contradictory.

This evasion of answers is further fueling the allegations and drawing criticism about his ethical conduct as a member of the National Assembly.

The candidate's evasion of answers at the hearing, citing a lack of expertise, despite having previously mentioned the profitability of the new drug, is seen as a hypocritical attitude.

The host pointed out that such actions are an attempt to circumvent safety verification of new drugs.

Allegations also arose that the KFDA requested supplementary measures for the drug, but these requirements were not properly implemented. This raises transparency issues in the approval process.

Furthermore, evidence suggested that the KFDA Commissioner's office instructed the approval process to be expedited due to political pressure. This could severely undermine the independence and fairness of the KFDA.

This series of events strongly suggests the possibility that external power intervened in the approval process of a specific new drug, prioritizing political considerations over safety.

Representative Lee Jae-myung has never shown signs of apology, and his press conference on the 18th was predicted to be merely formal. The host pointed out that Lee dismisses all 8 charges against him as a 'political prosecution plot,' despite them being legitimate trials.

It was analyzed that the current push to appoint candidate Kim Seung-won as Minister of Justice also has a strong political purpose to continue the cancellation of public prosecutions.

The 30s voter demographic is reportedly paying close attention to the issue of candidate Kim Seung-won's child. Allegations have been raised that the candidate himself falsified his child's residence in Bundang for a better educational environment.

Furthermore, allegations of preferential employment for his child, coupled with the candidate's refusal to consent to personal information disclosure at the confirmation hearing, further fueled the controversy. These allegations cast doubt on the sincerity of the candidate's emotional appeal using his developmentally disabled child.

Furthermore, a more limited analysis suggested a possibility of entering the 20s.

It was also predicted that an emergency press conference would be held on the 18th to defend against such a decline in approval ratings.

This is a warning that, judging from past precedents, it could lead to an impeachment foreshadowing.

In fact, as impeachment discussions began to be publicized within the Democratic Party, such as lawmaker Kim Min-seok's impeachment remarks, a shift in the party's mood is being detected.

Recent Realmeter polls showed Representative Lee Jae-myung's approval rating at 18.6%, leading to a 'dead cross' with President Yoon Suk-yeol's approval rating. In particular, the decline in support among young people (20s and 30s) was analyzed as a major factor driving overall public opinion.

It is pointed out that the continuous decline in youth approval ratings is causing a serious crack in Representative Lee Jae-myung's support base.

This phenomenon is expected to have a significant impact on the future power dynamics in politics.

The police deferred responsibility, claiming it was not within their subway jurisdiction, which hindered the investigation.

CCTV footage was only kept for ten days, but the investigation only began in earnest six months later, by which time crucial evidence had disappeared. The victim later regretted having to collect evidence themselves.

The host pointed out that the candidate, as a lawmaker, exerted undue influence on the KFDA, among others, rather than improving the social system through legislation.

In particular, it was strongly argued that if he was able to handle grievances concerning the KFDA, even though he was a member of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee, he should have resolved the difficulties his family experienced while working for children with developmental disabilities through legislation.

This behavior led to the conclusion that he is unfit for his role as a lawmaker and as a minister.

The allegations that the candidate attempted to resolve issues using personal connections and influence raise serious questions about his ethics and qualifications as a public official.
